In The Leader's Edge, Sandy Linver, the well-known consultant and president of Speakeasy Inc., shows how her clients -- from top-notch companies such as Coca-Cola, Andersen Consulting, and UPS -- have used effective communication skills to reach their high leadership positions. In this book, you'll meet chairmen, presidents of companies, and heads of divisions from different industries with one thing in common: They're all committed to communicating well and becoming the best speakers they can be. At one point or another, in each of their careers, these people discovered something very important: Effective communication doesn't come from a rule book or a toolbox, but from within.

The Leader's Edge isn't a "how to" book -- it's a "where to" book, about where communication development can take you, professionally and personally. Once you are in touch with who you are and what you want, Linver tells us, you, too, will discover how easy it is to communicate persuasively, and how these skills can help you grow in your career and in your life.
